Summary - 4, CHERRYDOWN WEST, BASILDON SS16 5AT
1 bed 1 bath Office
Central site with parking and redevelopment potential for the right investor.
• Freehold two-storey office approximately 1,054 sq ft
• Vacant possession with immediate access
• Four off-street parking bays included
• Close walk to Basildon train station and town centre
• Potential residential conversion subject to planning permission
• Area records very high crime — impacts lettability and resale
• Office use since 2007; likely refurbishment required for conversion
• EPC commissioned; Rateable Value £11,500 (2025/26)
A freehold, two-storey office building of about 1,054 sq ft positioned within walking distance of Basildon town centre and the mainline station. The property is vacant and currently has four off-street parking bays, double glazing and gas central heating, making it immediately usable for commercial tenants or as a short-term holding while planning is considered.
The site may offer residential conversion potential subject to planning permission (STPP). Investors and developers should note the property has been in office use since 2007; any change of use will require an application and local authority approval. An EPC has been commissioned to support marketing and the 2025/26 Rateable Value is listed at £11,500 (estimated business rates payable c. £5,739).
Key positives are the town-centre location, excellent transport links to London via Basildon station, and clear freehold ownership. Material negatives include the area’s very high recorded crime level and the need to secure planning consent for residential conversion. The building is functional but will require refurbishment or adaptation for alternative uses.
This opportunity suits investors seeking a town-centre asset with immediate income potential or developers able to pursue planning for residential redevelopment. Buyers should budget for conversion costs, potential remedial works, and the planning process timeline when assessing returns.
